About Shi Huangdi

The emperor Shi Huangdi(259-210BC), whose family name is Ying and first name is Zheng, is one of the most famous kings in Chinese history. He is also the emperor who created the first feudalism country made up of several peoples.

The times when Shi Huangdi was born was the end of the period of the Warring States in Chinese history. It was the times that wars broke out quite often. His father was named Zichu---the grandson of the emperor Chin Shaodi and also the son of the prince Chin'an'guo. Zichu was sent to the country Zhao as a hostage. At that time, a businessman called Lubuwei saw the special situation of Zichu, so he helped him a lot to make him back to his native country. Lubuwei also provided Zichu with a beauty called Zhaoji to be his wife. Before long she got a son, it is the right person called Yingzheng-the emperor Shi Huangdi.

When Zichu got back to the country Chin, he became the emperor of Chin. He was called the emperor Zhuang Xiangdi and he made Yingzheng to be the prince. The emperor Chinzhuangxiang died in 247 BC and Yingzheng became the emperor who was only 13 years old at that time. In 238 BC he held a coronation and after that time he became the real emperor who could control the whole country. He defeated the army which wanted to overset him and sent his mother into prison. The next year he made the Premier Lubuwei to be a civilian. With the help of Lisi, Weiliao, Wangjian, Mengtian and so on, he chose the right time to attack other countries. The war lasted 10 years from 230-221BC. He annihilated the countries--Han, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Chu and Qi and brought the Warring States which lasted about 100 years to an end. He made himself to be the emperor of the first fuedalism country made up of several peoples in Chinese history.

After he made all parts of China to be a whole country, he called himself "Shi Huangdi". To make his power more stronger, he made a lot of policies, including consolidating characters, coin and metrology, putting the rule of province and country into use, dividing the whole country into 36 provinces, making country under the control of province and so on. He created several important officials who were under the control of the emperor. All the officials was chosen by the emperor. It was Shi Huangdi who was in charge of the power of the army and politics. From then on during about 2000 years, the results of innovation made a great effect of the feudalism system of China.
